Basically all you need to do is make a map that has some sky in it, be it the horizon, clouds, or stars. Maps will be judged on theme, game-play, and aesthetics. rocket_thumped, gloomp and blackson will be judging. Prizes are custom titles for the second and first place finishers. The winning map will be featured as well. Third place will get ad free browsing and the top five finishers will get a user bar commemorating their triumphant victory over the masses. Try to do something unconventional and you’ll probably do well.

There's been some confusion because I've forgotten to mention that the prizes are not permanent. They recycle to the new winners each month. While we'd love to give out custom titles to everyone, people with custom titles would soon out number people without them.

1. All entries must have been made between the dates of October 1st 2010 and October 15th 2010. 2. Tag your maps with sky, otherwise your map will not be judged!

good luck

I have a question regarding NUMACON, and I realize that this may not be the right place to post this. This question may also have already been asked, but I searched for it and could not find it. I sympathize with those who might be angry with me, because I sometimes get annoyed with newbies on other forums doing stupid things, but...

Can we upload maps that we made just for fun for NUMACON? Because I have some maps that I want to upload for Sensei (namely, this one: http://www.nmaps.net/203094).

[16:24] <@golfkid> I'm pretty sure I will literally scream if I die on the last column of 78-4 at this point[16:25] <trance> Oh, yeah. That level.[16:29] <@golfkid> lol[16:30] <@golfkid> It looks so simple[16:30] <@golfkid> But it says "NO! I will rape your sanity!"

My Accomplishments:Completed N; Completed Nreality on 4/11/08598 top 20 scores in N 1.4 as of 6/28/14 (498 level scores, 100 episode scores, 2nd position in top 20 rankings); reached 100 on 12/14/2008; 300 (half of all possible :D) on 11/9/2009; 400 on 12/2/2011; max of 598 on 2/3/2013; tied for 0th in top 20 rankings on 2/26-27/13

The Sensei results were very disappointing, and I'm not alone in thinking this.Only two of the five winning maps were (what I'd regard as) 'unconventional', and none of them involved great replayability, game-play or aesthetics.

All I can really say is I'm glad an NReality map didn't win this one...

Err, I don't see how they do at all. Perhaps the issue is not the theme, but rather your interpretation of it.

I don't know how you could say this. Out of six competitions and 30 winners only 2 have been NReality maps. So 7% of the winning maps are NReality maps, sounds like you are right amlt, this is getting out of hand. :P
